Apr 10, 9:40PM
Walk around New York City, and you're bound to see the work of these "wall dogs"—the men and women who paint billboard-size ads by hand, high above the city streets. Their work is exacting, and the places they paint are terrifying. Don't watch this if you're afraid of heights.

Apr 10, 9:20PM

This Folding Knife and Spork Is Plastic Cutlery Evolved
Apr 10, 9:00PM
If there's one downside to a summer spent relaxing at garden parties and backyard barbecues, it's having to dine with disposable plastic cutlery.

The largest solar farm in the U.S. finally got cooking this year, but not without reports of singed wildlife and displaced tortoises.

Like, say, Superfund sites?

Apr 10, 7:20PM
So clever, so depressing: the English town of Clifton, having dwindled in economic strength over the years, has responded to the loss of its last place to shop with a giant vending machine.

Around 3.26 billion years ago — long before the dinosaurs — a massive asteroid measuring nearly 36 miles (58 km) across smashed into the Earth. Geologists have now reconstructed this cataclysmic event, and it was far, far bigger than we thought. Here's how things went down on that fateful day.
Views of a Dark World: Illuminating Unseen Infrastructure
Apr 10, 7:00PM
For a global society highly dependent on complex technical, economic, and political systems, we manage to carry on our daily routines largely unaware of the hard and soft infrastructure—from pipes to policies—on which these systems rest.

Tokujin Yoshioka's aptly named Agravic table sticks a marble slab between two perfectly placed prism
Apr 10, 6:18PM
Tokujin Yoshioka's aptly named Agravic table sticks a marble slab between two perfectly placed prisms that balance the weight with crazy-precise accuracy. The Japanese designer calls it the "table of the universe" thanks to its apparent ability to eff around with gravity. It's awe-inspiring—and definitely not built to host a dinner party. This is a rendering, but the real deal is on display in Milan this week. [Spoon & Tamago]

My Type of Neighborhood: Mapping the Type Foundries of New York City
Apr 10, 4:40PM
I love old type specimen books. Any foundry, any period, it doesn't matter. They will have me hypnotized. But I don't usually linger at the title pages. Who would, really? All the fun and exciting stuff comes after that: the impossibly small text faces, the spectacular display faces, all the sample uses variously dowdy and natty.
